Abhi Khanjar Na Chala
Jab Giray Ghoray Se Maqtal May Shehay Karbobala
When The King Of Karbala Fell From His Horse In The Battlefield,
Khanjaray Zulm Liye Shimray Sitamgaar Barha
The Cruel Shimr Advanced With His Sword Of Oppression.
Dee Tarap Kar Daray Khaima Se Ye Zainab Ne Sada
Zainab Cried Out From The Tent In Anguish,
Abhi Khanjar Na Chala, (Zalim) Abhi Khanjar Na Chala
"Don'T Strike With The Dagger Yet, (Oppressor) Don'T Strike With The Dagger Yet!
Loot Mat Beheray Khuda Fatima Zehra Ka Chayn
Don'T Steal Fatima Zehra'S Peace, For God'S Sake,
Aur Kuch Der Teher Jaa Aray Zalim Ke Husain
Wait A Little Longer, O Tyrant, For Husain
Bakshish E Ummatay Jadd Ki Abhi Kartay Hain Dua
Is Still Praying For The Forgiveness Of His Grandfather'S Followers.
Dashtay Ghurbat Pe Musafir Ko Hai Ghera Zalim
The Traveler In The Desert Of Exile Is Surrounded, O Tyrant!
Kya Bigaarha Hai Mere Bhai Ne Tera Zalim
What Harm Has My Brother Done To You, O Tyrant?
Kya Khata Hai Mere Bhai Ki Bata Beheray Khuda
What Is My Brother'S Fault? Tell Me, For God'S Sake!
Theen Din Hogaye Pyaasa Hai Nabi Ka Jaani
For Three Days, The Prophet'S Beloved Has Been Thirsty,
Zibha Karna Hai Toh Doh Ghoont Piladay Paani
If You Must Slaughter Him, At Least Give Him Two Sips Of Water.
Kund Khanjar Hai Mere Bhai Ka Sookha Hai Gala
The Dagger Is Blunt, My Brother'S Throat Is Dry,
Bosa Gaahay Nabawi Hai Ye Gala Aye Zalim
This Throat Is Where The Prophet Used To Kiss, O Tyrant!
Sheh Ragay Deen Pe Khanjar Na Chala Aye Zalim
Don'T Strike The Jugular Vein Of Faith, O Tyrant!
Choomtay Thay Issi Halqoom Ko Mehboob E Khuda
God'S Beloved Used To Kiss This Very Throat.
Chorh Kar Khuld Zara Fatahay Khaybar Aa Lay
Leave Paradise For A Moment And Bring The Conqueror Of Khaybar,
Aur Kuch Der Teher Jaa Ke Payambar Aa Lay
Wait A Little Longer And Let The Prophet Come.
Aati Hi Hongi Woh Aa Lenay De Amma Ko Zara
Let His Mother Come, She Must Be On Her Way,
Sheh Ragay Deen Pe Chalta Huwa Khanjar Dekhein
Let Them See The Dagger Striking The Jugular Vein Of Faith.
Aakay Zehra O Nabi Bhi Toh Ye Manzar Dekhein
Let Zehra And The Prophet Come And Witness This Scene,
Door Hai Raahay Najaf Aatay He Hongay Baba
Najaf Is Far, But Father (Ali) Must Be On His Way.
Kya Karoon Jaaon Kahan Kis Ko Pukaroon Bhai
What Should I Do? Where Should I Go? Whom Should I Call, Brother?
Kaisay Dekhegi Tumhay Torhtay Dum Maa Jaayi
How Will Your Mother Bear To See You In Your Dying Moments?
Ya Ilahi Mujhay Shabbir Se Pehlay Lay Utha
O God! Take Me Before Shabbir (Husain),
Haye Kis Dil Se Karoon Tazkira E Jor O Jafa
Alas! With What Heart Can I Recount This Oppression And Cruelty?
Kat Gaya Saamnay Zainab Ke Shahay Dee(N) Ka Gala
The King Of Faith'S Throat Was Cut Before Zainab'S Eyes,
Cheekhti Rehgayi Zainab Saray Maqtal Ba Khuda
Zainab Kept Screaming Throughout The Battlefield, By God!
